Down for me and me being the usual thickhead I am decided it might be a corrupt install and so I decided to remove Steam and reinstall it....
About a zillion games have now been removed and Steam still does not work
bah..!
Are you sure? Are the games still not in their folder within the steamapps folder?
If not, this is why you install steam on a different drive from your games installs..
Completely sure
I know that I have done this in the past and it has always left the Steamapps folder, really useful for the obvious reasons.
This time a normal removal and the entire Steam folder and subfolders are removed complete..!
The reason as to why Steam and the games are together on a separate SSD is due to it usually leaving the Steamapps folder intact. Now might be the time to revisit that option.
Then again I always thought that the games have to be within the Steam client...? So I can install Steam to the C drive and then the games to my other SSD...?
Grrrr
As I can't even install Steam at the moment, well can't login and download my games etc, is there anything in the client I need to do to ensure the games download to the desired drive etc rather than the default sub Steamapps folder...?
It might well be obvious once I get back up and going but I can't do that, yet.
Thanks
